I found it particularly relevant that she worked towards advancing women's rights by engaging women from lower socioeconomic classes. By threatening that "feminism will wither and die" without engagement from blue-collar workers and minority women, she was able to use an effective tactic of persuasive reasoning to engage her audience. I thought it was relevant that she believed engagement of women from lower class families would be important because these women were most affected my some of the issues feminist's were dealing with at the time. Thanks again for sharing your story -- I'm sure she would be proud of you too that you are equally engaged with these feminist issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261405979417818968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405365195020060629.post-49941911273682049812013-11-13T00:17:33.323-08:002013-11-13T00:17:33.323-08:00Daniel, thank you so much for sharing this with us...Daniel, thank you so much for sharing this with us! What powerful experience reading her words must have been for you. <br />The link did not work for me, but I would really love to read the article. <br />I appreciated reading the quote you posted--it is very cool to see the way in which she acknowledged feminism as a movement that should include all women so that it could survive and aid women and children stuck in harsh circumstances. I also think it is particularly noteworthy that she acknowledged the need to include minority women as well, who may have been overlooked by some in the movement. <br /><br />It sounds like you have a pretty impressive Grandma. Thanks for sharing this meaningful story with us. Maddie Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489592859912371093noreply@blogger.com
